His stated and oft-repeated goal is to save mankind by making it interplanetary.
It doesn't seem to be about personal aggrandizement. He has built no monuments to himself, has not named his company "Musk Inc", he doesn't run for office, etc.
Musk does not own a yacht or even a house.

If he feels lonely, he can message me and I'd treat him to dinner.
Well he is a piece of shit no matter what theoretical ideals he holds. I am sure many evil people in history wanted to “save mankind”
I don’t think I need to remind you how he treated his transgender daughter and that’s just single example
